The paper starts with a review of similar studies conducted earlier on which this study is built. The highlight of the party ideologies to construct and content of a questionnaire and the answers given on this issue. We present our findings by presenting them with graphs, and analyzing these findings.

The study researched the positions of main ideological profiles in the context of several western democracies. A custom-tailored questionnaire was designed and used to interview 160 senior party officials of the four main parties. Each answer corresponds to a numerical score, and the findings are presented in a plot graph. We mapped the distribution of individual beliefs within each party, and took their collective distribution as a realistic indicator where the party potentially stands.
